Decadent Some Days

15 December 2005


Pain and suffering
takes a world
and steals a soul
Those moments
never to forget
yet unable to feel whole

This decadence of yesteryear
those trials of tribulation
An adversity to combat
not known if tomorrow
with be a day of celebration

Just to be alive
to know you are there
Just to know you did survive
of a world in command
never quite that place in being fair

The best poetry in the world is there to be read. Only the poet may never know their worth.

Of that I can admit where getting feedback got me. To the fact I wrote 1300 poems in the last 12 months - yet 400 of those since January 2006.

Any comment is worthy and I am not the best at leaving my own trail of breadcrumbs behind to where I have been and read either

I wrote that many my first year expressing myself,more out of need than not...at least 3 a day...some, pretty pitiful I must admit now...



Well time to go and "make my day"

I don't count
what I write...

I think it would scare me.  

But you do make us think...
and that is a good thing!

I started counting in November 1995, and that grew to become part of my style.

On top of that the number (or page number) is a form of alternative title and reference number. Where without the numbers, I would never be able to find the title, poem or words I have written.

To use a spreadsheet and database to keep track of what I have written. While the fact I can come up with statistics is a bonus.
http://www.poettothecars.com/myasp/regtable.asp is a look at my database, in its primitive outlook of what I have written and published
